Today's lyric is in memoriam of
Doris Troy, whose death last week I heard about yesterday.
Hers, and Montserrat Caballe’s, are the only two women whose vocal strength of emotion can reduce me to tears.
Doris was the lead backing vocal on Pink Floyd’s legendary album “The Dark Side of the Moon” and her soaring voice on the last track just has to be heard, whether you like the band’s music or not.
So track 8 had to be blasted out when I climbed into the car this morning. And yes, dammit, I had to pull over because I couldn’t concentrate to drive. Soppy old s0d.
My regular reader will know that I’m not a religious bod, but I hope that wherever she is now, she’s playing “
The Great Gig in the Sky” at full belt.
Wonder if
CBS heard the news? Are you out there, property tycoon?
